LaGrange Jail Records and Georgia Law

File a written request with the Troup County Sheriff's Office for booking logs, arrest records, and inmate lists. The agency must respond within three business days. The first 15 minutes of search time cost nothing. Fees after that are based on staff time at the rate of the lowest-paid worker who can handle the job.

O.C.G.A. Section 35-3-37 lets some criminal records get restricted over time. Misdemeanors with no final case outcome are restricted after two years. Non-violent felonies wait four years. Violent offenses take seven. The Georgia Crime Information Center at the GBI handles restrictions. Once restricted, the record is removed from the public jail roster. Only courts and law enforcement can still see it.

Under O.C.G.A. Section 50-18-74, agencies that improperly deny open records requests face fines. Up to $1,000 for the first offense. Up to $2,500 for each additional violation within 12 months. People who finished a first offender sentence can seek restriction under O.C.G.A. Section 42-8-66. This applies to qualifying LaGrange cases where the person completed all terms set by the court.
